    Where do I begin with this one? There so much to speak of for a movie that had so little to say. Shall we start with the horrible premise? The horrible dialogue? The horrible acting? Or the horrible everything else?

    Let's put it this way...I walked out. I never walk out of a mov...( read more)ie ("never" = "hardly ever.") The plot was "spread" so thinly on a wafer-thin canvas. There was no drama to speak of; no characters to empathize with; no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

    Basically, we have Ashton Kutcher solidifying his status as worst actor of all time--seriously, he's worse than Hayden Christiansen. And the "acting" should have come easily for him in the role; since he's practically playing himself: a good-looking (debatable), charming (even more debatable) womanizer who has a predilection for loosening up already loose 40-somethings in order to gain prominence in society. Does the name "Demi" ring a bell, anyone?

    Even with the real-life parallels, Kutcher blows it so badly that every scene in which he appears (which is sadly EVERY scene) is atrocious. And don't get me started on the horrible narration he provides.

    The story arc for these characters were non-existent. Pretty people behaving badly has been done so many other times--and so much better than this tripe. Why would I want to go and see beautiful people getting themselves into the worst situations and not learning anything from it? Oh, that's right. I didn't sit through the whole thing, so technically I don't know if lessons were learned in the end. But let me tell you...it didn't look promising.

    The movie was a complete waste of celluloid and I fear that my review of it may be an even worse waste of time and cyber real estate. I shouldn't even finish this review at all. Just spread the word: this movie is unfulfilling, vapid and incomple--

    Good movie. I liked the story, the ending in particular, and I thought Kutcher gave a decent performance. There is a lot of sex, but there's also enough drama to the story to give the main characters added depth. I admit Spread's may not be for everyone, but I would still recomme...( read more)nd it.

    FINALLY they have a movie where the gigolo is the victim...but this one in the category of endurance of human interest...LOL! How far can he go with what he does kept me paying attention throughout the film. See it if you want but the final scene with what he has a bullfrog do wi...( read more)ll amaze you...see it!

    if there wansnt that paticular end, i would give this movie just one-star. whats that kind of boy who just fuck to earn some money to rough the life. i cant imazine how stupid he is not looking for a job and womanising in the same time. immune! i dont respect that kind. and the g...( read more)irls also pathetic. ur wealthy, sexy and able to find alot of hunk better than Nikki, why dont u do that, why just keep him home and let him do whatever he likes. OMG, i so hate them. This movie, i feel like, they simpothize for these ppl, and thats unacceptable. about the end, yes, this is the only one doesnt define a happy-ending, unlike most of movies do. hell yeah, u certainly got a true love in ur life, when u find it, doesnt mean that it belongs to u, and becuz u suck, u dont deserve it then u lose it. i love that deliver-ms. thats all i expect in such this gerne.

    "It's a business doing pleasure."
    A roller coaster of highs and lows with a life lesson.
    It's a kill-time movie. Neither good or bad.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Props to Kutcher for going to surprising, painful places. There's something haunted in his portrayal that hits hard and sticks. full review

It's hard to know where to begin on how awful this is. full review
